The merman, my man novel Chapter 53

The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 53

I could no longer compel myself to calm down under Laura’s pressed questioning. I rushed to pick up the clothes quickly as if they were the incriminating pieces of evidence. I clumped them together in a ball and ran to the door.

Suddenly, Laura sounded serious, as if she was interrogating me, “Linda, where do you think you’re going?“

I couldn’t stop feeling guilty, and my back was soaking with sweat. I pushed the glass door open and lied, “Doctor Laura, I am so sorry. There’s an emergency from home. I have to go back immediately. I’ve booked an air ticket earlier today and will be leaving tonight.“

All I wanted to do was leave that place as soon as possible. So all I could do was make up some excuses. The dream I had of Dicken turning into a man was indeed absurd. A merman evolving into a human being definitely did not conform to evolution science.

But there were too many ridiculous incidences that happened to me all this while. I couldn’t help but feel numb at the thought of all that had happened. I couldn’t stay there any longer. Not even for a minute, I had to leave.

Laura raised her voice when I pushed the glass door again. Her sharp voice reached my ears, “Linda, we need you. The scientific research team is going to continue their merman research at sea. I hope you can come with us on our ship. And, of course, you have to right to reject me unless you wish to see the video of yourself on YouTube.

Laura’s last sentence felt like lightning had struck me. Dizziness filled my mind, and I almost fell from the doorsteps.

I could not say for sure what I had heard, and I didn’t want to believe what Laura said was true.

If the surveillance camera had captured my encounters in those two days, and if Laura had collected all the inappropriate videos, then…

But as a senior military officer and a famous scholar, and for Laura to eventually threaten me with these bargaining chips.
